Applicants are invited to submit their applications for its Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) Regional Leadership Center Southern Africa Program that is a signature effort to invest in the next generation of African leaders.

The RLC SA will develop the young African leaders in Business and Entrepreneurship Development; Civic Leadership; and Public Management and Governance through a hybrid of innovative and complimentary approaches that include contact sessions; online mentoring; online self-paced tuition; industry placements and experiential learning.

To awaken their innate leadership potential for the benefit of Africa and its global partners.
